Now.. what about insurance... i have State Farm here, nut i heard that they are crazy out in Cali... i have all fast toys os hopefully they won't kill me on monthly payments.. buick, Lightning, 300zxTT, Sentra (pretty quick), Honda CBR1000rr and RC 51 both sport bikes... How much are you guys paying for your Buicks???

1,200 a year for AAA and I'm 21 year old male.

1/8 mile does suck but Irwindale is a great place to race and watch there is always a lot of excitement and Buicks. They promote as having the "best" traction in SoCal.

Irwindale + traction = me with 2 broken driveshafts and 1 th400

Morgan is from Orange County. He goes by Drip Pan on this board. I'm sure other guys from the L.A. area will chime in.

I'm from the east coast originally, and I really like it in San Diego. Expensive, but...pretty stinkin' nice. You are absolutely going to love the weather. December is great, but the rains start in Feb. But don't let that get you down - 'cause there ain't no snow!

The majority of buick owners from San Diego seem to have female tendencies !
